      When we think of the stalwart heroes of the civil rights movement, names like Rosa Parks, Jessie Jackson, Medgar Evans, and Martin Luther King immediately come to mind. But the very figure who brought the plight of oppressed blacks to the light of THE WORLD, Mamie Till Bradley, is not readily recognized.

What Emmitt Till went through has to be one of the most horrifying stories ever. He was so young. It's unbelievable to me that grown men would feel no remorse for what they did to a little boy. They're burning in hell right now and I hope the same for Carolyn Bryant when she kicks the bucket.

      Absolutely. We gotta acknowledge that narcism (emotionally manipulative and reprobate) is how this country was made and why the illusion lasted. White people made black people everything they truly believed they were. Now people are waking up. Oh and reprobate means no redeeming qualities.

      The black community in fear of their own lives couldn't take care of it with their own hands. Crooked, racist cops would have found a way to make it a mass burial of the vigilante, revenge seeking blacks. Enough station wagons, vans and small trucks would have been used to bury them in the swamp like the Civil rights workers who were murdered.
      On another sickening note, Ahmaud Arbery's killers were free men for months. Thankfully, William Bryan was a smart dumbass that filmed it, probably for the trophy element of it. All 3 of them would likely be free men, protected by that crooked D.A., Jackie Johnson, if there was no video.

The grandfather to my friend was with the boy .

      i agree, and this was one that we know of, for them to do that to a little kid, and not show any remorse, tells you they've done it many times before, and not only to kids, but grown men too, and women and little girls who they lusted after on the low. And they protected each others secretes to their graves. This is why i can never forgive whites, (and i know all white weren't like that, but i'd say 80% were)they killed so many of us, there are thousands apon thousands of bodies burried in unmarked graves, in the bottom of rivers that we may never know about, but they're there. And many of the killers have gone unpunished, some are still alive, living among us with their dark past, acting as if they are friends. I watched these stories and i get so angry, so full of rage, it's like i can feel their pain. But i have to watch, i have to know, to see how our ancesters/our people were mistreated, raped, beaten, and killed for no reason other than being black. And whites thought it was ok, the photo of Emmett's face is unreal, i know in my heart, had i have been his dad, uncle, or brother, i would have died not long after, cause i would have killed those two, and as many whites as i could have. I am so sad for black folks in those times, very sad.

      @@parisjackson1335 - That's not true. Carolyn Bryant is still very much alive. She's now 86 years old. Her sister in law Juanita Milam (JW's wife) died in 2014 at age 87.

      How long was it before she changed her story?

    Just heartbreaking, RIP Emmett and Mother, all is family that have passed. Thanks for showing us the real place where it happened. Personally I would have torn the garage down and built something in his memory!
